Handouts and Examples for CS311: Computer Organization

The following handouts/examples were/will be distributed in the Fall, 2017 offering of the course, or were/will be used as examples in class:

• Types of Flip-Flops
• Hamming Code Example
• The MIPS ISA
• Translation Patterns for Typical Higher Level Language Constructs
• An Example of A MIPS Program Using Procedures and Parameters
• MIPS Register Conventions
• Exception Handling in a MIPS Program
• Addressing Modes
• The following three handouts develop a multicycle implementation of MIPS that is not the way MIPS is actually implemented - these are based on a simplification for pedagogical reasons.
• Micro Architecture for Multicycle MIPS Simulation
• RTL for Multicycle MIPS Simulation
• Example Executed by Two Simple MIPS programs
• MIPS Pipeline Stages
• Example of AMAT Calculation
• Example Code for Various Ways of Parallelizing a Program
